Default Rotor Hat Covers

Looking for Rotor Hat Covers I've seen here but now can't find. I need to hide the ugly hats behind my new rims. Also need same for a 2006 Acura TL. New rims, same ugly rusty hats. Thanks in advance!

Pull the wheels off and paint them, I did and it looks much better.

Absolutely - get a heat tolerant paint and you'll be fine. Painted mine silver and they look great. Don't worry about a perfect line on the braking surface of the rotor - one stop and the brake pads will scrub the overspray off.

Good points all! The wheels have to come off anyway so maybe I'll just go ahead and paint em. Thanks again.
